ScoTTUNE : Mp:lros ground. 

 Charter of Thomas de Kilnum, de terra de Scott une. To 

 all, etc., Thomas de Kilnum, son of Walter de Kilnum. A 

 grant to the monks of Melrose of 8 acres of arable land in 

 the territory of Scottun, which I have perambulated before 

 good and approved men, by these divisions, to wit, the Southern 

 part of the arable land of Hamuldunflath between the two 

 ways by which the descent is from the moor, towards the 

 North unto the stones which we placed when we perambulated 

 that land, with all easements in the territory of Scottun 

 pertaining to such land : to wit, pasture for 2 horses and 

 12 other [animals?] and 80 ewes: which land I have given 

 them in exchange and recompence of 8 acres of land which 

 Robert, my grandfather, gave to them by his charter, and 

 Walter, my father, confirmed. Thomas himself was present, 

 and corroborated the gift by affixing his seal : these being as 

 witnesses, Walter de Rydale, Walter de Heddun [Heddun has 

 to be found out], Walter the clerk of Werk, John de Plaustun 

 [Pawston], Hugo de Cornast [Carnoust?], and many others.

 ancestry, and for the salvation of my lord. King Henry, and 

 that of his own and his wife's, and all his successors, the 

 whole that part of my land and pastures in the territory of 

 Hethpool, which is contained within these bounds : to wit, 

 from the Eastern side of Aildunesfot [not cot] upward into 

 Hethouswyre by a syke towards the South even to Trolhope 

 burn by the valley even to the Swirle of Naruswinesete and 

 thence as the wood and moor divide even to Twisel-hopesheved,
